Secure the felt shapes to your hoodie and pants using fabric glue or safety pins.

Tips

If you are using a fleece onesie, wear lightweight clothes underneath as it can get very warm indoors.
Use safety pins to secure the tail to your waistband so it doesn't sag or drag on the ground.
For outdoor nighttime events, use reflective yellow tape instead of felt so your rings catch the light and glow.
Keep your shoes simple and solid black so they blend seamlessly into the bottom of the costume.
